My 2 cents; Ive messed with exponential a little and have found the best thing is to learn throttle control. If you watch video of some of the pro drivers, you can see how well they control their throttle.....never applied too soon or too late. The better you are at it the more competitive you will be.
Try to practice often, for me I am not a "natural" so I need to run on of my cars 1 or 2 days a week. If I take a week or 2 off Im terrible come race day.
As for jumping, throttle control is everything when it comes to the pitch or angle of your car in the air. As your car leaves the ramp, the wheels unload (spin faster) and this causes the car to go nose high. Therefore you need to back off the throttle as soon as you launch. If you back off too much or hit the brakes your car will nose dive very quickly. So with practise you'l learn where to put the throttle.
Another thing with throttle control, if you have the wrong rear tires it will be much harder to learn this skill. The rear end will be loose and hard to control.
